Work is now progressing on the new pipes!  They are coming together  
very well and are made to stand for centuries.  All of the front  
pipes in the side sections and center sections of the case (all but  
the small pipes) are being made new.  Of the inside pipes, two bottom  
octaves of the 4' Great ranks are being made new (Octave 4' and  
Spitzflöte 4', 24 pipes total) and several low octaves of three other  
ranks are having new feet made to be fitted on site.  The photos show  
the mouth pieces being fitted and soldered into the low C of the  
facade set.  The third photo shows the bodies and feet of the  
remaining facade pipes.  They are painted with a water soluble  
coating that protects them and enables the solder seams to be  
flawless.  Once complete that will be washed and polished.

The Pedal Fagott 16' is being made entirely new, a major part of the  
work.  This is now underway as well.  See the photos on the Fritts Organ Page.
